Got this idea from a guy on AK-47.net. I think it is a great thought. What do you guys think?
"A rash of FFL dealer "burglaries" in which NO guns or other merchandise, or money, is taken, but instead the transaction forms "go missing," or else suffer from a mysterious case of spontaneous combustion that thankfully spares the rest of the store. Or perhaps (more dramatic, but also much more dangerous), masked men (presumably armed) burst in during business hours, not to rob or otherwise harm the business or customers, but merely to "liberate" the records."
Done on a wide enough scale, this could really throw a wooden shoe in the works.
And of course, this would be completely outside of the control of the poor unfortunate dealers so stricken, so they couldn't be held accountable (and if the ATF tried, well, then other actions might be called for).
Just my little excercise in thoughtcrime.

"As nightfall does not come at once, neither does oppression.
In both instances there is a twilight when everything remains
seemingly unchanged. And it is in such twilight that we all
must be most aware of change in the air - however slight -
lest we become unwitting victims of the darkness."
--Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas
